Apoptosis Ready-to-Use Design Details

The ready-to-use design details are available for download. In a compressed folder, there are a number of files with diverse information. Although the type of data in all of the files is plain text and they can be opened using any text editor, we recommend using a spreadsheet such as MS Excel for viewing their contents given their multicolumn format.

Apoptosis_Designed.bed

This file contains the RefSeq accession number of the RNA sequence (transcript) for which the primers were designed, the start and end coordinates of the amplicon relative to the transcript sequence, the amplicon ID and in the last column the HGNC gene symbol that is associated with the transcript identifier in the first column. The file contains one row for each gene or accession number submitted to design.

Note: the contents in this file are not viewable in the UCSC genome browser given that the RefSeq coordinates that it reports are not compatible with the browser.

Apoptosis_Primer.bed

This file provides similar but more detailed information than the file Apoptosis_Designed.bed . There are differences in the format of some columns and in the number of rows; the differences in format make this file compatible with the UCSC genome browser. This file presents two rows for each one of all of the targets submitted to design: one row for the forward primer and one row for the reverse primer. The start and end coordinates are for the position of the primer on the chromosome that is displayed in column 1. The second to last column reports the preferred TaqMan assay that can be used for verification. Also the gene symbol in the last column corresponds to the symbol submitted by the user (it might or might not be the HGNC symbol).

Apoptosis_DataSheet.csv

This file contains one row for each of the RefSeq accession numbers of the RNA sequences that are covered by the designed primers. For each row there is extensive information such as the names submitted by the user, the corresponding HGNC approved symbol, the amplicon ID, the sequence of the forward and reverse primers, the start and end coordinates of the primers relative to the RefSeq sequence, the coordinates of the start and end of the amplicon and the start and end of the insert sequence relative to their position in the chromosome and the strand of the chromosome in which the sequence is located.
